Lara Flynn Boyle: The Mick-Jagger-Stomach-Pump Story of Our Time

"We had Lara Flynn Boyle [slated for a cover story] and the reporter decided to ask her about this rumor he picked up from the internet—don’t ask me why he decided to do this—before the photo shoot. He asked Lara if it was true that she bleached her asshole. A day before we’re supposed to go to print and the photo shoot was going on, [Boyle’s people] were saying, “We’re not doing this shoot,” which would have left us with a blank cover. So after begging and pleading and hours with various lawyers and managers, I found myself having to write a letter that said ‘I, Maer Roshan, promise that Talk will not mention Lara Flynn Boyle’s asshole or publicist.’ I thought, God, all that journalism school and here I am writing letters about Lara Flynn Boyle’s asshole."
